https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-secret-history-of-kimberly-guilfoyles-departure-from-foxThe Secret History of Kimberly Guilfoyles Departure from Fox
....In November, 2018, a young woman who had been one of Guilfoyles assistants at Fox News sent company executives a confidential, forty-two-page draft complaint that accused Guilfoyle of repeated sexual harassment, and demanded monetary relief. The document, which resulted in a multimillion-dollar out-of-court settlement, raises serious questions about Guilfoyles fitness as a character witness for Trump, let alone as a top campaign official.
...In fact, Fox News forced her out in July, 2018several years before her contracts expiration date. At the time, she was a co-host of the political chat show The Five. Media reports suggested that she had been accused of workplace impropriety, including displaying lewd pictures of male genitalia to colleagues, but few additional details of misbehavior emerged. ...Recently, two well-informed sources told me that Fox, in order to avoid going to trial, had agreed to pay the woman upward of four million dollars.
...
The woman was hired in 2015, just out of college, to work as an assistant for Guilfoyle and another former Fox host, Eric Bolling. According to a dozen well-informed sources familiar with her complaints, the assistant alleged that Guilfoyle, her direct supervisor, subjected her frequently to degrading, abusive, and sexually inappropriate behavior; among other things, she said that she was frequently required to work at Guilfoyles New York apartment while the Fox host displayed herself naked, and was shown photographs of the genitalia of men with whom Guilfoyle had had sexual relations. The draft complaint also alleged that Guilfoyle spoke incessantly and luridly about her sex life, and on one occasion demanded a massage of her bare thighs; other times, she said, Guilfoyle told her to submit to a Fox employees demands for sexual favors, encouraged her to sleep with wealthy and powerful men, asked her to critique her naked body, demanded that she share a room with her on business trips, required her to sleep over at her apartment, and exposed herself to her, making her feel deeply uncomfortable.
...According to those familiar with the assistants draft complaint, during a phone call on August 6, 2017, she alleged that Guilfoyle tried to buy her silence, offering to arrange a payment to her if she agreed to lie to the Paul, Weiss lawyers about her experiences. ...
...Guilfoyle, she said, told her that, in exchange for demonstrating what Guilfoyle called loyalty, she would work out a payment to take care of herpossibly, she said, with funds from Bolling. The assistant alleged that Guilfoyle mentioned sums as large as a million dollars, and also other inducements, including a private-plane ride to Rome, a percentage of Guilfoyles future speaking fees, and an on-air reporting opportunity....
...
When the assistant declined the offer of money, Guilfoyle warnedin a manner that the assistant regarded as threateningthat, if she spoke candidly to the lawyers, some aspects of the assistants private life that Guilfoyle knew about might be exposed. In fact, as I reported on this story, associates of Guilfoyles contacted me, offering personal details about the assistant, evidently in hopes of damaging her credibility and leading me not to publish this report.
Let's talk about this more all over the internet.

(61,709 posts)are her own. It's the fact that she tried to force her freaky preferences on subordinates that is the problem. Showing up nude in front of guests in her apartment is a pretty gross thing to do, even a type of assault.
I bet Jr has been looking for this all his life. I guess he told his kids, "too bad, I've found someone as creepy as myself to fuck, so you won't see me around much."
I hope his ex takes him to the cleaners.

(2,073 posts)And it seems like what Kimberly Guilfoyle is really after is power. First she is Gavin Newsome's wife, then she leaves him and attaches herself to the Trumps, to Don Jr. Like Trump, Kimberly Guilfoyle doesn't seem to have any real political convictions - she went from liberal to conservative without even batting an eyelash - but always, she seems to gravitate towards power.

To add: I am not discounting sexual abuse survivors, sarcasm releases pressure sometimes.
